I think 7 out of 10 is the perfect rating for this film as honestly the animation and the voice acting is beautiful, also the story is really entertaining and interesting for both children and adults alike. Also, the movie has some really great songs that will get caught in your head.
But what brings this movie down for me a little is the last 20 minutes, it felt very rushed and the attention to detail which was seen throughout the film was no longer there at the end of the film in my opinion. That doesn't mean don't watch it, this movie also shows why Dreamworks honestly dominated the late 1990s and the early 2000s with its unique animation and also some brilliant storytelling.
Definitely a pleasant trip down memory lane and it holds up for today's kids as well.
Not quite sure where to put this. If you span a period of 25 years in a two hour movie there are supposed to be gaps in the story. But it is tough to put events into a timeframe if you don't know much about the history.
I like period dramas and I am a huge fan of Saoirse who played well. As did Margot. They both carry the movie a lot. The oscar nominations are also well earned. But that's just it. It looks pretty but it's lacking in storytelling. The material would have been better for a mini series. I am not dissapointed nor do I regret watching this. I think a "7" is an honest rating. It takes into consideration the effort made to produce this movie.
7 - Good
Tom Holland is great is this movie, you really get the goofy teenager vibe off of him which is what Spiderman is supposed to be.
The plot is meh and kind breaks sometimes but the end credits have gotten me so excited about the MCU I haven't been since captain America the winter soldier...
The most disturbing and at the same time sensitive movie I ever saw. With comedic parts that made me cringe and gritty stuff that made me feel bad, this movie sends the message quite harshly. Massive performances and Phoenix left an impression that's comparable to Ledger. Yet their portrayals are both so different.
